Summer sewer rates vs. winter rates

The City’s annual summer sewer billing ends on September 15, 2019. This means that any water consumption after September 15 will not reflect the discounted sewer rate.

A
summer sewer discount is calculated based on the lower of the actual volume or
the average monthly volume of sewage discharged into the sanitary sewer system
for the sewer bills issued in the immediately preceding months of November
through April.

Summer
sewer billing ends when fewer people work on their yard and go back to using
water mostly indoors. It is important at this time of the year that residents
check their home for any leaks from their toilets, faucets or showerheads to
avoid a higher-than-usual bill over the winter.

A
seemingly minor leak can waste thousands of gallons of water over the course of
months or even years. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,
the average household’s leaks can account for more than 10,000 gallons of water
wasted every year, and 10% of homes have leaks that waste 90 gallons or more
per day. Fixing easily corrected household water leaks can save homeowners
about 10% on their water bills.
